It was a nice day a little overcast, but comfortably warm at the tables. The menu consisted of a couple of salads and several sandwiches, and wine and beer. We selected the Mesclun salad with pecans, dried cranberries, blue cheese and a very nice vinaigrette that dressed the salad well, I had a glass of pinot noir, that complemented the salad. We followed up with a delicious strawberry shortcake that was served on a slice of pound cake. All in all it was a very pleasant experience

I immediately booked it over as I needed a very specific consultation -- felting with my doggo's fur. I had my samples and the needle I was using and although they didn't have experience with dog fur they immediately diagnosed the problem with my needle not being a true felting needle. I was able to test out their tools and was on my way to felting success. I came back for a few additional supplies and was overjoyed with the results.

I'm on a quest for a good way to dye pieces of nylon and the hunt tends to lead me into yarn and fabric stores. I've been inside Saco River Yarns several times as I find my way back into the Saco River Dyehouse, and the yarn store is a really cool place. The people who I've met here, especially Lisa, are really friendly and helpful. They carry what seems like a wide variety of different kinds of yarn and other stuff that I can't even guess about, and in the back is a room full of looms, spinning wheels, and other cool stuff. If I was into knitting or making the kinds of scarves found in high-end gift shops, I would be a regular at this store. I've attached some pictures so that people who know more than me can judge for themselves. But remember that since I don't know much, I may have forgotten to get pictures of the really good stuff.

If you see this before they close though, while limited things are left they are heavily discounted! We snagged a couple things that I thought were a decent deal. For the most part though this is not a store I would usually visit, just not the stuff I would typical care for. It is easily evident they are close to being closed with how few products they had left and the disaster of how a lot of areas of the store looked. Can't really blame the workers that much though I am sure it's not worth the effort with so few days left. I also overheard a worker tell a customer their bathroom is out of order and wet everywhere. Those who liked Joann Fabric and anything they sell hopefully find a local spot to support instead.
